Ian Stuart, Churchwarden andVice-Chairman St The Annual Parochial Church Meeting took place at the Matthew’s PCC end of April.The annual report and accounts show the church to be in a sound position with no major issues at present. Margaret Hill and I were re-elected as Churchwardens and joint Secretaries. My wife, Cynthia, was re-elected asTreasurer although she gave notice that, after 24 years, this will be her last year as Treasurer. Elizabeth Gilliat was re-appointed as Electoral Roll Officer, and, as well as theVicar, Churchwardens andTreasurer, the Church Council consists of Bob Gilliat, Hilary Humphries, Fiona Lewis and Ruth Knowles.

As well as the fairly traditional service at 8.45 am most Sunday mornings, we have a monthly‘all-age’ service on the second Sunday of each month. It is more informal in style, in modern language and designed to appeal to young and not-so-young alike. Indeed the regular congregation ranges from 7 to 90s with opportunities for the children to play a full part in the service.There is a different theme to each service. Everyone is, of course, welcome to any service, but a particular welcome is extended to families to come to the all-age service. Lee & Link'Em News Summer 2019

LEE AND THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS LINK TOGETHER!

Louise is a practising artist and had previously studied at Falmouth School of Art, graduating with a degree in Fine Art and Printmaking. Back in February the Royal Academy in London starts its summer show selection process.This is an open exhibition and about 16,000 works were initially submitted digitally. Louise’s piece made it through to the shortlist of approximately 4,000.The artwork was

As most readers will know, the Old Schoolroom Craft Gallery, adjacent to the Church and opposite the Memorial Hall, has been successfully run for many years by LouiseThompson, ably assisted by her mother, Edna. What most people probably do not know is the high regard in which Louise is held nationally. Louise is far too modest to write an article about herself, but she has allowed me to highlight her recent achievements.

then taken to London where another selection process thinned down the shortlist to 1,200 pieces, including Louise’s, which were selected for the show.

The art work is titled‘shells pebbles and plastics, beachcombing‘ (see the image).The artwork was inspired by beach walks and collecting shells and pebbles. Sadly these days, plastics are also found in the strand line.They are collected and taken back to Louise’s studio space where she incorporates them into original intaglio prints.

Louise’s work at the Royal Academy will be on display in London from the 10 June until the 12 August in GalleryV number 812.As well as the work on display in London, the Exmoor Magazine Summer Edition 2019 has also done a feature on the Old Schoolroom Craft Gallery and Louise’s artwork and inspiration. It is well worth a read and it also includes some photographs of her work.

Lee & Lincombe Residents' Association Report

Our AGM was held on 14 May 2019 in Lee Memorial Hall.

In many ways it has been a landmark year with the‘against the odds’ refusal of the Acorn Blue Hotel planning application, an upgrade to the constitution, the election of a resident to the IlfracombeTown Council and the changing of the guard within the committee.

So, first and foremost, at the 53rd Annual General Meeting tribute was paid to retiring and outgoing members, some of whom, had made a significant contribution over many years.The chair presented floral gifts to Paul and Marion Thom, Mavis Rogers, Elizabeth Gilliat, andTrevor Greaves. Elizabeth had been a committee member since 1967 and had served as chairlady. PaulThom stepped down from the committee after 22 years (much of which was as honorary treasurer) and was hurrahed three times!

The following were duly confirmed as committee members for 2019: Eric Couling (Chairman),Cllr Pat Coates,Matt Dearden,Kieran Fisher,Owen Rolfe,CarolynWeekes and Martha Scarrott.David Biggerstaff was thanked by the chairman for accepting the role of honorary treasurer.

Routine business for the committee this year included: • Maintenance and checking of the heart defibrillator (Grampus PH 862906). • Running and upkeep of the public toilets including an extension to its opening times at Christmas and Easter, and the installation of new external doors and locks. • Referral of road and street light damage to the appropriate council department • Oversight and support of the Japanese KnotweedTeam (any sightings gratefully accepted – there has been a spread into the BoroughValley). • Liaison with other agencies including Plastic Free , the Forestry Commission, and the National Trust. • Lobbying to have further traffic calming measures through Lincombe and down into Lee, with a potential 20 mph limit throughout. • Planning applications to which we are a formal consultee. It should be noted that all but one (the Hotel) of the applications has been approved where a decision has been made. • The treasurer’s regular reports indicating that available funds have dropped to £1500 as a result of maintenance costs, hall hire and legal fees.

However, our focus for some time had been the Acorn Blue Hotel planning application, which was eventually refused unanimously by councillors on the planning committee in April 2019 after nearly two years.The reasons for the refusal were that the application did harm to the Conservation Area and heritage assets, that there were insufficient public benefits given the level of harm, there were no‘exceptional circumstances’ as required by national planning regulations, and - because it was outside the council’s development plan - it needed to be of modest scale.The refusal brought with it a requirement for either a Supplementary Planning Guidance or Design Brief, which will ensure that Summer 2019 Lee & Link'Em News

Lee & Lincombe Residents' Association Report, contd. any future application will comply with parameters agreed in consultation with the council and the community.

The Chairman and I believe the following were instrumental in overturning the application: • The sustained and overwhelming support given by residents who turned up at planning committee meetings and their representations. • The knowledge and quality of the speakers that has been acknowledged by the Head of Planning as being passionate and informed. • A petition of over 4000 worldwide organised by Alan Bannister! • The change of heart of IlfracombeTown Council in deciding to object with us at last. • A series of challenging letters from our committee holding the planners to account. • The abandonment of the site by the owner and developer including potential legal enforcement by the council if the knotweed is not managed. • A recently approvedTorridge and North Devon Local Plan that safeguards rural and protected areas. • Our openness to working with developer and owner to find a solution, as demonstrated by our initiating of a meeting with them and councillors.

We are keen to work for the communities of Lee and Lincombe in preserving our amenities and working together in the common interest. General membership and that of the committee is welcomed, and we will be happy to receive and deal with any issues you bring to our attention, and indeed to work with IlfracombeTown Council and Cllr Pat Coates, who is a committee member.

This year we have also revised the constitution to be more modern and inclusive.The main changes recognise that anyone who has an active interest in our community can be a member (if they pay their subscription), and we have lowered periods of residence for committee eligibility to one year.We have also changed the boundary slightly and have made it possible for ex-residents and individuals with specialist skills to be part of the team.

To be a member please subscribe for £5 via any committee member or directly with our treasurer David Biggerstaff (866109, [email protected]).

Special thanks go to: • Barry Jewell for conscientious and cheerful cleaning of not just our toilets, but the Hall and Church. His floral decorations add a wonderful touch of colour. • Gina-Luisa Hilborne for her online administration of the website and digital referrals. • Ian Stuart and Gina-Luisa for the provision and professional management of The Fuchsia List, which keep us all in the loop clearly and briefly. • Heather Booker as secretary of‘Friends of Lee Bay’ for her relentless energy and imagination in marshalling support for an alternative to the refused hotel application. • To Bill Harvey and all the staff at the Grampus PH for the many hundreds of signatures added to the hotel petition and taking the time out to explain the issues to all their customers; and of course, for making the defibrillator available 24/7.

Lee & Lincombe Residents' Association Report, contd.

I would like to leave you with the following quotes:

PaulThom (Committee member 22 years and honorary treasurer): “An interesting and challenging time with all the changes that have taken place in the period. I wish the committee every success for the future."

Cllr Pat Coates (IlfracombeTown Council): “I would like to personally thank Liz, Paul, Marion and Mavis for their dedicated service to Lee and Lincombe over many years.At the same time, I am delighted to welcome Kieran, Martha and Matt as our new committee members. In addition, I would like to thank all of you who voted for me in the recent local elections. I look forward to representing your views on the Planning Committee and as part of the group working on the Ilfracombe Neighbourhood Plan.”

Eric Couling (Chair): “I am a great admirer of SirWinston Churchill and I quote: '(Acorn Blue)...we will fight you on our beaches...' I would like to thank all the retiring members of the committee for all their hard work over many years and welcome the new younger members on to the committee, their views and ideas will be most welcome to keep our community vibrant.” Lee & Link'Em News Summer 2019

Lee & Lincombe Residents' Association Report, contd.

Liz Gilliat (inaugural member and retired chair): “Since the inception of the Residents' Association there has always been a band of dedicated residents over the years, all having one ambition, to protect our unique village and the surrounding area. I believe Heather Booker and I are the only 'originals' remaining as members. We were grateful to JeremyThorpe, who suggested we formed a Residents' Association in 1967, when we had many controversial problems - nothing changes! On the day the Meeting took place in with JeremyThorpe I was at work and came home to be told that I was to be the Secretary of the soon to be formed Association. At some point Heather took on the job followed by the late Adrienne Howard. Adrienne and I attendedTown and District Council Meetings where Lee appeared on the Agenda - making our voice heard.

Some major fights and achievements in the past: major house building development at Lincombe; the extension to Lee Bay Hotel (sadly lost); campaign to keep the Portico of the Hotel from demolition (lost); constant battle to keep the PublicToilets open; noise and disruption at Lee Manor Country Club which we won having taken them to court; creation of Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) on woodlands; achieving Conservation Area status, more recently increased in size; the Millennium Seat on Home Lane which we asked Denny Booker to make and we supplied the wood, which is currently cared for by Heather and is situated on a piece of land owned by me.

I hope the Association will continue with all the good work that has taken place in the past and protect this‘little gem of a village’ and its environs. Best wishes, Liz Gilliat.”

The Fuchsia List

No one, then or later, has opted out of the Fuchsia List unless they have left the village, and many, especially newcomers, have joined.We believe that around 90% of residents and properties are on the List.We have made it clear from the beginning that it is a communications channel for messages entirely related to the village. It is not a vehicle for opinions or comment, nor is it for lengthy or flamboyant articles, though, we will, if appropriate, put links to further information.As the only feedback we have received has been entirely positive, we think that the relatively strict criteria we Way back in 2015, through our various roles in the use has probably been the main reason why no one has Residents’Association, NeighbourhoodWatch and the dropped out of the List. Memorial Hall, we had contact details of the majority of owners and/or residents in Lee and Lincombe. We are writing this note for the Lee & Link’em News Following discussions with all organisations, it seemed for two reasons. Firstly, to remind existing members of to be a good idea to set up a single, central point of the List of its purposes and functions and, secondly, to contact to share information relevant to everyone in invite anyone in the village and/or a property owner Lee and Lincombe. So we set up what we called 'The who is not yet on the Fuchsia List to contact us with a Fuchsia List' - an email mailing list consisting solely of request to join.

As you may recall, our Spring issue featured a 1930s "I know the names of two children on the photo,the lad on the Lee School photo as its cover, with a request inside for back row on the left is Bill Cook,and his sister,who is two more information. Laurence and Miriam Baker already away from him on the same row,is Mary Cook. knew that Ken Baker is on the front row, second from right, Ken's sister, Pat, is behind him wearing glasses, Bill Cook was born in October 1920,and,as I would think he and behind Pat, slightly to the left is DulcieYeo (nee may be one of the oldest in the photo,it would place the year Jones). as either 1930 or 1931,depending on when in the academic year the photo was taken."
